The Queen travels through time and dominates the four realms

Chapter 426

Ren Xiaoyao frowned and said, "Alchemist? She is an alchemist?"

Taoist Master Baimei nodded slightly, and then told Ren Xiaoyao about his experience. His life experience was as miserable as his parents.

It turns out his surname is also Ren, Ren Xiaoyao.

His parents were born to a general of Tianfeng State and a small villager. His mother was a concubine of a wealthy family. Not long after marrying the general, she became pregnant with him. In order to balance the two sides, the general asked his brother-in-law to marry a concubine, so that the first wife had the opportunity to give birth. But before his younger brothers and sisters came into the world, his mother passed away.

Before his mother died, he told him that his brother and sister were killed by evildoers, and he must find out the truth and bring the murderer to justice.

From then on, he vowed to take revenge, so he became a disciple of Taoist Master Baimei of Yaogu. As if he had been pardoned, his body turned into a white light and instantly withdrew from Ren Xiaoyao's sea of ​​consciousness and returned to the real world. His face was pale, and he was obviously still frightened by what happened in his sea of ​​consciousness. He looked around and confirmed that he had indeed returned to the inner courtyard of Renjiazhuang. The familiar courtyard, the ancient locust tree, and the sound of the servants walking in the distance were all real. He stroked his chest gently, secretly glad that he could escape unscathed.

Ren Xiaoyao stood in front of him at this moment, his expression stern, but his eyes were burning with determination. "Uncle Baimei, I need your help." His words were firm and powerful, leaving no room for doubt.

Taoist Master Baimei took a deep breath, adjusted his mind, and said seriously: "Young Master, if you have any instructions, I will do my best."

"I want you to help me find my biological mother. She is imprisoned in the 'Yunmeng Secret Realm.'" Ren Xiaoyao spoke each word with great emphasis, and each word struck Baimei's heart like a heavy hammer. The Yunmeng Secret Realm was a mysterious place that everyone in the martial arts world was afraid of. It was said that it was full of traps and extremely dangerous. There were also rumors that it contained a secret book that could subvert the martial arts world.

Taoist Master Baimei frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "The journey to Yunmeng Secret Realm is extremely dangerous. Why are you so sure that your mother is there?"

Ren Xiaoyao's eyes were firm as he slowly told a story of the past. It turned out that many years ago, Ren Xiaoyao's biological mother was coveted by the underworld because she possessed the secret of peerless martial arts, and was eventually kidnapped by a mysterious force. His father Ren Haoyu searched for her in many places and finally got a clue pointing to the secret realm of Yunmeng. However, Ren Haoyu knew that this trip was dangerous, so he did not dare to act rashly. Now, Ren Xiaoyao has grown up and has made some progress in martial arts. He decided to go there in person to save his biological mother.

After hearing this, Taoist Master Baimei sighed and said, "Young Master, your filial piety is commendable, but this matter concerns life and death, so you must be careful. If you want to enter the Yunmeng Secret Realm, you must not only have high martial arts skills, but also wisdom and opportunities. I am willing to go on this journey with you, but before that, we need to make all the necessary preparations."

Ren Xiaoyao nodded gratefully. He knew that Taoist Baimei's decision involved great risks, but he understood that the joining of this uncle-master would undoubtedly greatly increase their chances of success.

A few days later, Ren Xiaoyao and Taoist Master Baimei secretly left the village and embarked on a journey to find his mother. They disguised themselves, avoided the eyes and ears of the Jianghu, and headed south to the hinterland of Jingchu where the Yunmeng Secret Realm was located. On the way, Taoist Master Baimei taught Ren Xiaoyao a set of superior swordsmanship called "Taixu Sword Jue". This swordsmanship originated from the secret teachings of the Wudang Sect. It uses defense as offense and simplifies the complex, which is suitable for dealing with various unknown challenges in the Yunmeng Secret Realm.

At the same time, Ren Xiaoyao also showed Taoist Baimei the black-robed man he saw in his sea of ​​consciousness. Baimei's expression became more solemn after hearing this, and he told Ren Xiaoyao that the black-robed man was most likely the legendary "Soul Venerable", a mysterious force hidden in the depths of the rivers and lakes, with strange actions and cruel means, and was inextricably linked to the Yunmeng Secret Realm.

On a dark and windy night, the two finally arrived at the outskirts of the Yunmeng Secret Realm. There was a thick fog ahead, and the rocks and trees were looming in the fog, as if hiding countless crises. Ren Xiaoyao and Taoist Baimei looked at each other, and there was determination in each other's eyes. They took a deep breath, stepped into the unknown fog hand in hand, and began this life-and-death adventure about family affection, grudges, and the secrets of the rivers and lakes... Taoist Baimei was like being pardoned, and his figure turned into light smoke again, escaping from Ren Xiaoyao's sea of ​​consciousness and returning to the real world in an instant. He looked around with lingering fear, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that he had indeed left the strange sea of ​​consciousness. However, Ren Xiaoyao's words were like a heavy hammer hitting his heart. He knew that this matter was related to the bloodline of the Ren family, and it also involved a long-forgotten secret.

Taoist Master Baimei looked solemn, thinking to himself: "Is that girl really the biological mother of Young Master Xiaoyao? Is there any other hidden story behind what happened back then?" He recalled that many years ago, Ren Tianxing, the ancestor of the Ren family, had secretly entrusted him with an important task, which was to protect a vital object and an unborn child. Now, the "girl" mentioned by Ren Xiaoyao undoubtedly reminded him of the closely guarded secret.

At the same time, Ren Haoyu did not leave. He stood in the courtyard, staring at Taoist Baimei with a complicated expression. Obviously, he was shocked by the scene of Taoist Baimei entering Ren Xiaoyao's sea of ​​consciousness, but he could not intervene. He came here to find the lost family treasure - "Xuanming Order", which is said to be inextricably linked to Ren Xiaoyao's life experience.

Taoist Master Baimei gathered his thoughts, turned to Ren Haoyu, and said with a bow, "Mr. Ren, I have something to ask you. This matter concerns the safety of your family. I hope you can tell me the truth."

Although Ren Haoyu was confused, he saw Baimei's serious expression and knew the seriousness of the situation, so he nodded and said, "Uncle Baimei, if you have any questions, just ask."

"Where is the Xuanming Order now?" Taoist Master Baimei asked the key question directly.

Ren Haoyu's eyes changed slightly, and after a moment's silence, he replied: "The Xuanming Order is the most precious treasure of our Ren family. It was lost decades ago and its whereabouts are still unknown. This time I am looking for Junior Brother Xiaoyao in the hope of finding clues from him. After all..."

He was about to say something but stopped himself. Taoist Master Baimei had already understood his meaning and said, "After all, the connection between Young Master Xiaoyao and the Mysterious Nether Order may be hidden in his mysterious sea of ​​consciousness."

Ren Haoyu nodded, his eyes flashing with a mixture of expectation and worry: "That's right. Uncle Master, can you lend me a hand and explore the mystery together?"

Taoist Master Baimei stared at Ren Haoyu for a long time, and sighed in his heart: The fate of two generations of the Ren family has been up and down because of this Xuanming Order. He knew that this matter was no small matter, and if he was not careful, it would cause turmoil in the martial arts world, and even affect the entire martial arts world. But he also understood that as the guardian of the Ren family, he could not retreat from his responsibility and commitment at this moment.

"Mr. Ren, do you know the hidden power behind the Xuanming Order?" Taoist Master Baimei asked seriously.

Ren Haoyu's eyes were firm. "Although I don't know the details, I heard that it can control the power of ice in the world, and it is closely related to the Ren family's unique martial art, the Frost Art. If it can be found, it will not only help our Ren family regain its prestige, but also reveal the mystery of Junior Brother Xiaoyao's life experience."

Taoist Master Baimei nodded slightly, having made up his mind: "This matter concerns the survival of the Ren family and the future of Young Master Xiaoyao. I will do my best. But before that, we must first find the key to open the door to the sea of ​​consciousness, which is..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a clear whistle in the distance, like the cry of a crane in the sky, melodious and passionate. Then, a green figure swept across the sky like a gust of wind and arrived in the courtyard in an instant. It was the current head of the Ren family, Ren Xiaoyao's father - Ren Aoyun.

Ren Aoyun looked at everyone with a sharp gaze and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Baimei, Haoyu, what are you discussing here?"

Taoist Master Baimei and Ren Haoyu looked at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes. They knew that the action of solving the mystery of Xuanming Order and exploring Ren Xiaoyao's life experience had officially begun at this moment. Taoist Master Baimei felt relieved, and his figure instantly disappeared from Ren Xiaoyao's sea of ​​consciousness and returned to reality. He calmed his mind and secretly felt fortunate that his response in the sea of ​​consciousness just now did not anger the mysterious man in black robes. Baimei knew very well that the man's strength was unfathomable and had a close relationship with Ren Xiaoyao. If he really wanted to investigate, he was afraid that his situation would be worrying.

Ren Xiaoyao stood alone in the room, his eyes full of mixed emotions. He looked out the window at the moonlit courtyard, his mind churning. That girl was his mother whom he had never met, and had been imprisoned in a secret place by his father Ren Haoyu for many years. He had always thought that his mother had passed away, but the reaction of Taoist Master Baimei today convinced him that his mother was still alive, but was imprisoned.

"No matter what, I will find her." Ren Xiaoyao clenched his fists and spoke firmly. He knew that this matter must not be done rashly, and it needed careful planning to succeed. So he called his personal guard Ah Fu and whispered, "Prepare the horses, I want to go to Cangjian Villa."

Cangjian Villa is a famous sword-making family in the martial arts world. The owner of the villa, Liu Wuhen, is not only an excellent swordsman, but also a master sword-maker. He has a deep friendship with Ren Xiaoyao. Ren Xiaoyao intends to borrow Liu Wuhen's power to forge a weapon that can help him break through Ren Haoyu's tight defense.

The night was dark, and Ren Xiaoyao rode alone and galloped along the rugged mountain road straight to Cangjian Villa. The moonlight illuminated the road ahead, and the mountain wind whistled, as if humming a tragic war song. When he arrived at the villa, it was already three o'clock in the morning. The gate of the villa was closed, and only the disciples who were on guard were patrolling with lanterns. Ren Xiaoyao jumped off his horse, knocked on the door knocker gently, and whispered: "Brother Liu, Xiaoyao has something urgent to see you."

After a while, the door slowly opened, and Liu Wuhen, dressed in a green shirt and holding a long sword, looked at Ren Xiaoyao with sharp eyes. He had obviously noticed Ren Xiaoyao's abnormality, and asked, "Xiaoyao, what's so urgent?"

Ren Xiaoyao took a deep breath and told him everything about his mother and his plan to find her. Liu Wuhen listened, his expression solemn, and after a long silence, he patted Ren Xiaoyao on the shoulder and said generously: "This matter is related to the brotherhood, I, Liu Wuhen, will definitely help you. Since you need a sharp weapon, I will forge a sword for you."

The two walked into the sword-making room, where the fire was blazing and the hammers were deafening. Liu Wuhen personally smelted rare metals according to Ren Xiaoyao's requirements, integrated his internal strength, and devoted his lifelong sword-making skills. After seven days and seven nights, he finally created a soft sword named "Zhuisi". This sword is extremely flexible and can be bent and folded at will. It can be hidden in ordinary objects and can restore its sharpness in an instant. Its hidden mechanism can release fog when necessary to hide people's eyes and ears.

Meanwhile, Ren Xiaoyao was not idle. He studied the "Five Elements Dunjia Secret Book" every day, practicing the escape methods and formations in it, striving to help himself escape danger at the critical moment. In addition, he also visited the rivers and lakes, looking for strange people who could explore secret places, and finally met a blind old man who was proficient in "Telepathic Detection Technique". He gave him the "Ambergris" that he had collected for many years in exchange for the old man's help.

Everything is ready, and Ren Xiaoyao sets out on his journey to find his mother alone. He first sneaks into Renjiabao, uses the characteristics of the "Remembrance" sword to easily avoid the guards, and uses the "Telepathic Detection Technique" to sense that his mother is imprisoned in the underground secret room. The entrance to the secret room is hidden behind a landscape painting in the study, and it can only be opened by triggering a mechanism. Ren Xiaoyao follows the method taught by the blind old man, lightly triggers the mechanism, and the stone wall slowly slides open, revealing a staircase leading to the underground.

The secret room was dark and damp, and the air was filled with a depressing atmosphere. Ren Xiaoyao moved forward cautiously, holding the "Zhuisi" sword in his hand ready to deal with any possible danger. When he reached the depths, he saw an iron gate blocking a stone room. Through the gap, he saw a haggard but dignified woman, who was his mother who was always haunting him.

Ren Xiaoyao felt mixed emotions, and tears almost burst out of his eyes. He quickly unlocked the complicated lock of the iron gate, pushed the door open, and walked quickly to his mother. The mother and son looked at each other, and deep affection and endless longing flowed in silence.

However, at this moment, hurried footsteps were heard outside the secret room and Ren Haoyu asked sternly, "Who's there?" Ren Xiaoyao knew that he could not fight at this moment. He quickly carried his mother on his back and cleverly avoided the pursuers with the help of his newly learned escape techniques and formations. He finally escaped from Renjiabao successfully.
